Donna Wilson, a British designer, has given Staffordshire ceramic dogs - popular in the 19th century, and still collectible today - a contemporary face-lift. According to the New York Times, Wilson works with traditional forms from a factory in Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire, and paints a patterned Fair Isle-style sweater and gold fur on each dog by hand. Her objective is to bring an old design back to life. The dogs, above, which come in pairs (for $400), can be bought through the Future Perfect . Swoon!
